The 28-year-old tennis professional met 32 women at the Bachelor mansion, however four contestants stood out to Us: Daisy, Kelsey, Autumn and Lexi.
“I think that you simply picked four great women,” Joey informed Us with a grin on his face after we read him Us‘ too early ultimate 4 on the most recent episode of the “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast. “That’s all I will be able to say. I think they’re all superb and I believe you’re just going to have to attend and see how the ones stories keep coming about.”
The Bachelor airs on ABC Mondays at Eight p.m. ET. For more from Joey, concentrate to Us Weekly‘s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast or stay studying:
The Limo Entrance
After gazing the premiere, you'll have accrued that Joey is just too great to pick a least favourite limo front — in spite of the various tennis puns to choose between.
“I’m now not going to give you a least favorite. That’s simply imply, and they all just did the best they might. I know how a lot pressure is put on that,” he informed Us prior to giving a shout-out to Lauren, who brought two beers for them to shotgun. “I’ll pick out a unique one from my favorite. I like the shotgun. I’m a man that loves to have fun. I’m status there for an extended period of time. I get little water breaks here and there, but that used to be a just right little refresher to chug a beer. So I believe Lauren took the cake with that one. That was a a laugh thought.”
The Sisters
Speaking of Lauren, 28 … she was once joined by way of her youngest sister, Allie, 26, on night one. And whilst Joey favored her limo entrance, it was once Allie that got the kiss from Joey, much to Lauren’s dismay. Both were given roses, with Allie getting known as first at the rose rite — and Lauren getting referred to as remaining.
“It’s a hard situation. I obviously put two and two in combination alone when I was in the entire technique of it because I may tell how much that they had equivalent tales,” Joey told Us of assembly the sisters. “They clearly glance alike too. For me, it used to be always I was gauging my power off of theirs, so I was attempting to make sure they were OK and in the event that they had been ok with it, even supposing they knew it was once going to be a bit awkward, I was going to be as comfy as I may. The entire state of affairs is bizarre, dating that many ladies at once. When you upload that wrinkle too, it’s nonetheless going to be bizarre. But I think that what I try to do is simply follow their lead. That’s the most efficient I may answer it.”
Drama With Jess
Joey got his first taste of drama when Jess informed the opposite girls that she scored the first kiss and then stole Joey from Taylor.
“I feel the biggest factor about evening one is you meet such a lot of ladies, and I’ll be honest, my plate used to be complete enough that house dynamics aren’t one thing I pay attention to simply quite but,” Joey advised Us. “That night is all about connection, assembly people, looking to see if there’s one thing that you'll be able to no less than put your time and energy into and need to be informed more about. So house dynamics used to be now not one thing I was that specialize in that evening. It used to be simply assembly the girls.”
Lea’s Mystery Date Card Leads to the 1st Impression Rose
During Charity Lawson’s After the Final Rose, Joey met Lea, and host Jesse Palmer gave her a different date card to hold onto until night one. Fans (and Lea herself) discovered on Monday that she had the ability to thieve a one-on-one date from any contestant up until native land dates. The 23-year-old opted to burn the date card to stay things truthful, impressing Joey enough to earn the primary impression rose.
“I feel it’s something I may’ve done myself too,” Joey instructed Us. “She was once dealt a tricky hand. She needed to be in an excessively tough spot from the start, have numerous pressure on her, and she or he treated it with grace and showed who she was, and I simply assume had great character through all of it. I simply really preferred that she was once no longer occupied with herself in that moment. That’s a big thing you’ll pay attention me say right through this season is that I’m in search of any individual that’s very being concerned, selfless in that method, and he or she confirmed that from the start. And I don’t know the way I would’ve acted because I'd’ve been for sure afraid to get a card like that, however I might hope to have treated it with as much grace as Lea did.”

The Kissing of It All
Joey may not go down as the Bachelor who kissed the most women on night time one (Peter Weber reportedly passed that crown to Zach Shallcross remaining season), but he did get some makeouts in. And while one contestant, Maria, felt like he was kissing too many people for her liking, that didn’t forestall her from kissing Joey when she were given one-on-one time.
“That entire idea, it’s bizarre. It’s other. I didn’t have any expectancies. I didn’t try to come in with a host or, again, put an excessive amount of pressure on it,” he told Us of rules for himself for kissing on night time one. “I’m a big ‘going off the feeling’ type of individual, and I simply kind of had moments of if it felt adore it made sense or if it didn’t, and I’ve spoken up before that. I think that’s a in reality big part of growing intimacy and figuring out if there’s a connection with somebody. So it was once at all times looking to be respectful and figuring out. I by no means wanted to be one thing that was a big maintain the opposite girls. It’s more than likely one of the weirdest portions of this that it’s simply accredited to be doing that, however it’s a big part of a courting in general, and I did have multiple relationships all over the show, so I treated it the easiest way I could.”
